‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ (Netflix)

Watch On
It’s irritating that “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” underperformed on the field workplace, because it’s considered one of 2026’s strongest motion pictures thus far. Maybe it was made to pay for the sins of its divisive predecessor. However even in case you did not fairly click on with the third “28 Days Later” sequel, do not skip this ultra-dark post-apocalyptic horror. It finds a constant tone and dials again the extra erratic filmmaking type of the primary “28 Years Later.” This makes it a extra accessible watch general, assuming you’ll be able to abdomen some very brutal violence.
Selecting up the place “28 Years Later” left off, Spike (Alfie Williams) is initiated into the ruthless gang of Sir Jimmy (Jack O’Connell). In the meantime, Dr. Kelson’s (Ralph Fiennes) analysis into the craze virus might provide the quarantined Britain salvation. Constructing to a rip-roaring remaining act, with top-of-the-line makes use of of Iron Maiden you’ll see in any film, “The Bone Temple” is a wonderful follow-up, and it neatly units the stage for a trilogy capper that can hopefully occur.

‘Avatar: Fireplace and Ash’ (PVOD)

Watch On
Contemplating the dimensions and practically unmatched visible spectacle of the “Avatar” franchise, it feels a bit harsh to say that “Fireplace and Ash” lacks memorable moments, however this third journey to Pandora sees the magic begin to fade (at the very least it did for me). Nonetheless, you gained’t discover many blockbusters so able to transporting you to an alien world, and the visible grandeur is all nonetheless right here. With a reported price range of $350 million, no expense has been spared in “Avatar: Fireplace and Ash.”
The franchise has by no means been a story powerhouse, and that’s the place “Fireplace and Ash” struggles essentially the most. The plot recycles the principle beat of its 2022 predecessor, “The Manner of Water,” and by the top of this 200-minute epic (at the very least you’ll be able to pause it now), the sequence’ primary gamers are all just about in the identical place they begin the film. It does introduce a brand new fireplace clan, led by hardened Varang (Oona Chaplin), however even this recent factor is underutilized.

‘Scream 7’ (PVOD)
Scream 7 | Official Trailer (2026 Film) – Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox – YouTube

I’ve all the time admired the “Scream” franchise for its constant high quality. Or at the very least, I did till “Scream 7.” Sadly, this newest entry within the long-running slasher sequence is the weakest thus far, surpassing even the flawed “Scream 3” on the foot of my franchise rating. It’s overstuffed with too many characters and callbacks, and it’s reportedly troublesome manufacturing clearly impacted the ultimate product. Oh, and the large third-act reveal is simply horrible. I imply, actually terrible.
What to learn subsequent
A small silver lining is the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, after the sequence stalwart sat out “Scream 6.” Sidney now lives in Pine Grove, Indiana, together with her husband (Joel McHale) and daughter, Tatum (Isabel Could). When a brand new killer carrying the long-lasting Ghostface masks kicks off a recent homicide spree, Sidney and previous pal Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) are drawn to research, however all indicators level to a killer returned from the lifeless, Stu (Matthew Lillard).

The Oscars are within the rearview mirror now, however I’m nonetheless lamenting the injustice of Amanda Seyfried not even getting nominated for her work in “The Testomony of Ann Lee.” I don’t assume the entire film is flawless by any stretch (for starters, it positively runs a bit too lengthy), however Seyfried provides the most effective efficiency of her profession because the eponymous Ann Lee. The Academy ought to have acknowledged her efforts. However you are able to do simply that now that it’s on PVOD.
Reuniting the writing crew of 2024’s good “The Brutalist,” this historic dramatic musical (sure, I’m sorry if that’s a dealbreaker for you), tells the story of Ann Lee, the founding father of the Shakers’ spiritual sect within the 18th century. The film follows Lee from her delivery in Manchester, England, till her dying at 48 in Watervliet, New York. Lee preaches a very religious type of Christianity and faces reward and persecution due to her want to unfold her religion.

It’s exhausting to not really feel a bit downbeat about the way forward for authentic motion pictures on the large display when an excellent thriller like “Crime 101” can’t even make again its manufacturing price range, not to mention flip a revenue. Amazon MGM Studios took a $90M guess with this film, and it positively didn’t repay. However now that it’s heading to Prime Video, I’m hopeful it’ll get the bigger viewership it so richly deserves, as a result of it’s a very compelling crime thriller with an excellent forged.
Set within the sprawl of Los Angeles, “Crime 101” is predicated on the 2020 novella by Don Winslow. It combines a number of characters, with every arch converging in a tightly-wound finale.

“The Housemaid” was considered one of final 12 months’s most entertaining psychological thrillers, adapting Freida McFadden’s responsible pleasure novel right into a film that’s equally soapy however undeniably pleasurable. Sydney Sweeney could have the lead position, however Amanda Seyfried dominates the display as a suburban housewife whose polished family is harboring some darkish secrets and techniques. It’s a twisting trip, and it’s already been introduced that the novel’s sequel can even get the film therapy (Sweeney is returning, and Kirsten Dunst is becoming a member of the forged).

As she will get built-in into the family, spouse Nina’s (Seyfried) unpredictable habits is a problem, however at the very least husband Andrew (Brandon Sklenar) is type and dreamy.

FNaF 2 hit the large display final December and is just now making its debut on Peacock. Was it definitely worth the prolonged wait?

Set one 12 months after the unique, Mike (Josh Hutcherson) has shielded his 11-year-old sister, Abby (Piper Rubio), from the reality about her murderous animatronic buddies.
